Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, was arrested earlier this week after he was stopped by Carmel police. Prescription drugs were found in pill bottles and Irsay has four preliminary charges of possession of a controlled substance.

Dungy provided his thoughts through a video with AllProDadTV on Youtube. He opened the video by expressing how surprised he was when he heard the news.

"I was stunned just like everyone else with the news that my former boss Jim Irsay…was stopped with prescription drugs in the car and operating the vehicle under the influence."

Dungy continued by saying his prayers go out to his former boss.

"To me it just goes to show that no matter where you are in life that can happen. My best wishes, my prayers go out to Jim Irsay. I know he's in a treatment center. He's been battling this for a while."

The Super Bowl winning coach added that Irsay had great qualities as a person.

"Jim is a great man. He's done a lot for, not only me, but the entire city of Indianapolis, the Colts organization. He's got a great heart. And my prayer is that he can overcome this, win this battle with these prescription drugs."
